Project description:Application of genome-scale 'omics approaches to dissect subcellular pathways and regulatory networks governing the fast-growing response of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 response to variable irradience levels. We employed controlled cultivation and next-generation sequencing technology to identify transcriptional responses of euryhaline unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 grown under steady state conditions at six irradiance levels ranging from 33 to 760 µmol photons m-2 sec-1.
Project description:To identify the mechanisms of the adaptation to terrestrial ecosystems, an RNA-seq based transcriptome analysis was conducted on a desiccation resistant cyanobacterium, Nostoc sp. MG11.
Project description:Halotolerant species are of interest since they occur naturally in environments with excess toxic ions. The cyanobacterium Halothece sp. PCC 7418 (hereafter referred to as Halothece) exhibits remarkable halotolerance and was used to examine stress-responsive regulatory mechanisms. The effects of temperature on Halothece transcriptomes were examined using RNA sequencing.
